A ripple of applause answered the signal and Gov. Foraker explained to the audience that tho had been sounded by clectricity touched by the: flngers of Mrs. Polk at her home in Nashville. He proposed three hcarty Buckeye cheors exprossive of the appreciation of the estimable woman and of her participation in these ceremonies. The cheers Urere pivcn, men rising and swinging their hats. Then little Mary Allison, the 10-year old daughter of President James Allison, stepped to the side of the stage and, pressing an electric button, gave twelve signáis, on the gong and put in motion the ponderous machinery of the exposition. When her task had been gracefully accomplished her father kissed her amid the applause of the assemblage and presented her to the distinguished guests. The Halleluiah chorus ötly followed.
